Operating envelope is -13 °F to 131 °F, which covers standard indoor industrial cabinets and most outdoor enclosures but rules out freezer or oven service without derating review. The relay output carries a 3 mA minimum load current — anything lighter (a high-impedance PLC input or a low-power indicator) wants a buffer relay, since the dry contact will not switch reliably below that floor. Sealing is IP65 and IP67 on a plastic body, with CE, CSA, and UL Listed marks on the rating plate. The package is the standard 31 mm wide by 92 mm tall XUX compact block, with indicator lights on the body for power and output state. ## How it compares to a true sibling Inside the XUX family, the closest functional second-source is the XUX0ARCTT16 multimode programmable unit — same 24-240V AC & DC supply, same 1 C/O relay output, same 20 Hz / 25 msec timing, but with selectable background-suppression, diffuse, polarized retro, and retro modes on the same body. The trade-off is fixed-versus-programmable: XUX9ARCNT16 ships as a dedicated polarized retroreflective sensor and stays simple on the line, while XUX0ARCTT16 trades the 15 m reach for an 11 m max and adds mode switching on the housing. ## Sourcing reality Let me be transparent on the parallel-import angle: a genuine XUX9ARCNT16 sourced from a different authorized region is the same part, different passport — same IP65/IP67 rating, same 24-240V AC & DC supply, same 1 C/O relay, but warranty service runs through the region of sale rather than the region of installation.","metaTitle":"Square D XUX9ARCNT16 Photoelectric Sensor, 15 m, AC/DC","metaDescription":"Square D XUX9ARCNT16 compact XUX photoelectric sensor, polarized retroreflective, 15 m range, 24-240V AC & DC, 1 C/O relay, IP65/IP67.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Photoelectric Sensors"],"specifications":{"title":"XUX9ARCNT16","Series":"XUX","IP Rating":"IP65; IP67","Standards":"CE; CSA; UL Listed","Display Qty":"1","description":"SQUARE D XUX9ARCNT16: PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR COMPACT XUX","Product Type":"Photoelectric Sensor","Body Material":"Plastic","Overall Width":"31 mm","Response Time":"25 msec","Overall Height":"92 mm","Sensing Method":"Polarized Retroreflective","Supply Voltage":"24-240V AC & 24-240V DC","Sensor Diameter":"77 mm","lifecycle_stage":"current","Display Sell UOM":"EA","Sensor Body Style":"Rectangular","Supply Voltage Type":"AC & DC","Switching Frequency":"20 Hz","Load Current - Maximum":"3 mA","AC Supply Voltage Rating":"24-240V AC","DC Supply Voltage Rating":"24-240V DC","Includes Indicator Lights":"Indicator Lights Included","Sensing Distance - Maximum":"15 m","Output Circuit Contact Form":"1C/O","Electrical Installation Type":"Screw Clamp Terminal","Operating Temperature - Maximum":"131 °F","Operating Temperature - Minimum":"-13 °F","Cylindrical Sensor Dims.
